ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) Michigan has given permission to defensive tackle Aubrey Solomon to speak with other schools, giving him the opportunity to transfer.

Solomon signed with the Wolverines in 2017 as a highly touted recruit from Leesburg, Georgia. He played in every game last year as a freshman and had 18 tackles, including two for losses. Solomon's sophomore season was stunted by injuries, limiting him to five games and six tackles this year. He missed a five-game stretch during the season and didn't travel with the team for the regular-season finale at Ohio State due to injury.

No. 8 Michigan will play No. 10 Florida on Dec. 29 in the Peach Bowl .
